French authorities are pushing a 30 percent flat-rate Bitcoin tax


French regulators are realigning the taxes imposed on hodlers of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. The French finance commission supported plans yesterday that will see capital gains tax applied to cryptocurrencies brought in line with other capital gains tax, Reuters reports. Any profit obtained from owning cryptocurrencies is currently taxed at a rate of 36.2 percent. Other non-real estate assets are taxed at 30 percent. The amendment would see capital gains tax on cryptocurrency fall to flat-rate of 30 percent.

5 crucial lessons learned from 2 years of building TNW’s tech hub


Two years ago, we opened the doors to TQ — TNW’s first tech hub in the center of Amsterdam. At the time, I was organizing TNW’s conferences but when I heard about the project, I was super excited to be involved. It just seemed like the logical next step for us as a company. In fact, looking back, it’s almost weird we didn’t start TQ sooner. Our media platform was enabling us to reach a lot of people around the world in a short period of time. Our main conference gave us face-to-face contact with a concentrated group of people…

New whisteblower app fights forced evictions in Kenya


An indigenous group in Kenya is embracing the use of technological innovation to document forced evictions and efforts at resolving related conflicts. Although forced evictions are not new to Kenya’s Sengwer community, in December 2018, the Kenyan Forest Service started a new campaign to evict families from the Embobut Forest — their ancestral home — thereby resulting in conflicts and 341 houses being burnt, says a report by Amnesty International published in May this year. The Sengwer community in Embobut Forest is now using “This Is My Backyard” (TIMBY), a set of interconnected digital tools, to document and, boost negotiations to resolve land conflicts.…
